steering whell - slight virbrations

The last couple of weeks, i am noticing a slight vibration/shaking with my steering wheels when I am going past 90KM/H (55MPH).

Is this a sign of alignment problems? It seems to start when I hit a pothole rather hard...

Could be an (1) out-of-balance wheel, (2) bent wheel or (3) wheel alignment. I've had vibrations from all three (plus #4 - defective tires).

You can see if it's #1 or #2 by balancing the wheel that hit the pothole and asking them to check for a bent wheel when they balance it.
